S’mores Rice Krispies Treats: A Delicious Twist on a Classic

Step 1: Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using), and mix well.
Step 2: Mix in the Cereal and Graham Cracker Crumbs
Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs until they are well incorporated into the cereal mixture. The graham crackers add that signature s’mores flavor to the treats.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate Chips
Once the cereal and graham cracker crumbs are fully mixed, add the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the chips are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 4: Press into a Pan
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down firmly to ensure the treats hold their shape. You can use a spatula or wax paper to press the mixture down evenly.
Step 5: Add the Toppings
While the mixture is still warm, sprinkle the mini marshmallows and chopped graham crackers over the top. Press them down gently into the treats so they stick.
For extra chocolatey goodness, you can drizzle a bit more melted chocolate over the top or add additional chocolate chips.
Step 6: Cool and Cut
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles for serving.
Serve and enjoy the perfect combination of crispy, gooey, and chocolatey goodness!
